Side-emitting fiber optic cables emit light through the side and the end of the cable. These are high-performance light guides with PMMA (PolyMethylMethAcrylate) fibers available in a clear insulated sheath or bare fiber without sheathing. Uninsulated or bare fibers emit more light at the end and are used in lighting applications such as star ceilings, signage, and architectural models. Bare fibers are flexible and small in diameter ranging from as little as 0.50mm for fine and intricate details and artworks.
Insulated fibers have a clear outer sheath protecting the fiber cores from the sun's UVs and are water-resistant for outdoor and wet area applications. Used as strip lighting, side-emitting fibers are fitted into ceiling bulkheads, cove lighting, pool lighting, and path lighting without the use of LEDs. In addition, side-emitting fiber optic cables are a low-maintenance solution, especially in wet area environments.
LightEFX's perimeter fiber cables are chlorine and salt-water resistant. As a result, they can be partially or fully submerged in water without complications from pool heating and depth issues found with IP LED strip lighting.
Single-core insulated fibers are typically used for pendants and chandeliers with a lightweight fitting attached at the ends. For heavier fittings and crystal fittings, the side-emitting fiber cable with the metal tension wire is ideal.
With more than 19 years of lighting experience behind them, there’s little to wonder why the team here at LightEFX are the go-to experts for fiber optic side-emitting cables.
We are proud to be recognized among the industry leaders when it comes to lighting design, manufacture, and installation.
